There is only one spot on the C-5 to adjust. On the left side cover. I should learn to look before I speak I assumed that there was one at the handle bar control, like every other bike, but there is not. Sorry, too many different bikes in and out of the garage.

But the buring question still remains unanswered. Is there any way the clutch engagement position can be changed. Mine now engages at a very high (very close to full release of the clutch lever) position. I would like the clutch to engage when the clutch lever is half released...................Cheers !!

Will will give a barely qualified answer and say No. You cannot make that adjustment without leaving a lot of slack in the cable. The travel distance is within the clutch assembly.

I understand your sentiment, I felt the same way when I first shifted the C5. The grab point was so much different than my Harley's that I thought I would adjust it and make the same change you are looking for. I could not do so. It is just an entirely different animal.

In a short time I just got used to it, the clutch is so easy to pull it really does not matter.

The gear shifting mechanism on my bike seems to be pretty much out of shape, as clutch cable adjustment has not made any difference in the gear shifting. The gear lever seems to get stuck especially when downshifting suddenly, as well as upshifting in some gears.

The problem of gear slippage (gears retruning to a neutral position) on hitting a pot hole or low bump still remains.

The service engineer says, this may call for splitting the engine apart and may still not resolve the issue. Is this guy trying to save himself the trouble by giving such excuses.......................

Is your bike still under warranty ? If it is, let him open the engine. May be there is a defective component that needs to be replaced. When he opens it, ask the dealer that you want to learn and see the parts too. Take a few pictures.

+1. If it's under warranty they need to fix it or replace it. If he can't do it or doesn't think he can find the next closest dealer. Also, some of the worst transmission problems are often the result of very simple adjustments. Take it in.
